Real talk, but where would MPM Megatron fit on the list? He would be first on mine, and I will try to order him either this month or next month.

It's the best toy for the first movie design, but that is the worst design Movie Megatron ever had, in my opinion. So I don't think he would be number 1.

Speaking of MPMs, I am making a Best Movie Optimus list and so far, the MPM is not on that list.

Now that I think about it, he may just be my least favorite movie design (not in a bad way, because I think it's a great design), but this figure is so good, it makes me appreciate the design alot more. Favorite is TLK Megs though, and that figure did all the justice for it I need (the new 3P figure is another story)

As for Movie Prime, it would be much obliged if you left out MPM Prime from the list. He just isn't nearly as impressive as the ROTF Leader, and the MPM has so many flaws to boot.

That is my main argument. Doing a retrospective, there is just no reason for me to recomend MPM Prime when I could recomend one of the later versions of ROTF leader instead.

Honestly, MPM Optimus is a nice robot STATUE. Compared to the hard to do but still fun ROTF leader, MPM Optimus is not fun at all to transform or fiddle with.

I would need to disagree with MPM Megatron. The only real Megatron figure that could knock him off might be the TLK voyager figure. But those are 2 very different aesthetics, so that battle would almost be down to personal taste, and I have a vested interest in both designs

But if you had to write this list and pick a number 1, who would it be?

I could never tell about the MPM '07 Megatron because I don't thing I'll ever have it.... maybe...

But my #1 would definitely be the voyager TLK one. Design is perfect in all modes and he's a joy to transform.

MPM Megatron. He is too spot on perfect to give it to anyone else. He is incredible, and is the definitive Movie Megatron

No annoying bits to deal with when transforming, like those tiny and fragile panels for MPM Optimus and Bumblebee 1.0?

Nope, transformation is intuitive and fun, no painful parts, and he makes a solid alt mode. Absolutely the best MPM in terms of transformation

Hmmmm….. Now you're quite tempting me. I'll keep my eye open if MPM Megs ever go on sale.

Speaking openly, don't frikkin wait. It does him a disservice.

This guys is heavier than MP-43 Megatron, and was half the price. And he is a much mores solid figure overall

And plus, Kan, you now have a bit of budget for him since you cancelled Unicron. Also, if you scan your Rcard when you buy Megs, you now have 90 days for a return/price match.

Speaking of R card, I lost mine. Guess I'll re-register... and get the 10% off coupon for my "first purchase" that go with it.

I don't have many movie megs, just the voyager from the first movie, with a lot of icey parts incorporated into it. Then the cyberverse commander version of DOTM megs, which is probably my fave of those two. I also have Galvatron, and I quite like it. The shellforming doesn't really bother me, espcially with the shell collapsing down like it does, but yeah, it could use some more deco.

I have had my eye on SS DOTM lately, but dunno if I wanna spend $50 on a movie fig.

I feel like this list can be updated some now that we have the Movie 1 voyager in SS. that is the Megatron toy of the line right there, and should make it onto this list

It's stellar, no doubt.
But the fact that SS 07 Megs have the ROTF chest is one glaring flaw.

Also I never found it in stores, so I have no opinion on it yet.
There will be other lists to update or do in the meantime. Like now we can do nice lists for G1 style Megatron and Optimus toys.

Then again D-Max, I wont get the MP (doesnt ship to my province due to box language) and I don't care enough to pay a premium to overcome this obstacle. So if you want to make a top 5 movie megs list, you could.

I found mine at E.B games at the time and I found it once again at my local TrU.
Appart this baffling design choice, it's a great toy.
